Summary

1. The present non-paper submitted by the Chair contains a number of elements that may be helpful in addressing certain issues regarding the draft amendments on the crime of aggression and are therefore recommended to the consideration of delegations.

2. Timing of the entry into force of the amendments: Concerns have been raised at the prospect of an early entry into force of the amendments on the crime on aggression in case article 121, paragraph 5, of the Statute was to be applied. Such concerns could possibly be addressed by a provision specifying that the Court should begin exercising jurisdiction over the crime of aggression at a later stage only. Such a provision would not as such affect the timing of the entry into force of the amendments, but would effectively delay the Court's exercise of jurisdiction. Such a provision would therefore have to be placed in draft article 15 bis and could read:

Article 15 bis

Exercise of jurisdiction over the crime of aggression

[. . .]

7. The Court may exercise jurisdiction only with respect to crimes of aggression committed after a period of [x] years following the entry into force of the amendments on the crime of aggression.
